Due to the widespread geographic distribution of the Taństans, historical conflicts between Taństan and non-Taństan policies, and Taństans' socio-economic status as {{wp|middleman minority|middleman minorities}} or {{wp|Market-dominant minority|market-dominant minorities}} in many areas they inhabit, there is a long and continuing history of animosity between Taństans and various other Coscivian peoples. Emnity is particularly strong between the Taństans and the [[Ĥeldican Coscivians]] and [[Valosian Coscivians]]. | |||
In the multiethnic metropolitan areas of Fariva, such as [[Béyasar]] and [[Norvimur]], members of the many non-Taństan groups that have immigrated to these areas over the centuries have adopted many aspects of Taństan-derived Farivan regional culture, but nonetheless maintain identities distinct from the dominant urban Taństan minority. Interethnic tension in these cities is strongly related to perceptions of social class and institutional power differentials. | |||

Taństans can be found throughout the Kiravian Federacy. They are strongly associated with the lower states of the Far Northeast, such as [[Fariva]], [[Axonléga]], Serikorda, and {{wp|Rhode Island}}, as well as Erinava, Iscavia, and the Aromatic Isles. Large populations can be found in [[Venèra]], northern [[Etivéra]], Oceantropica, Candava, [[Kiygrava]], [[Devalōmara]], and [[Ventarya]]. [[Southern Kiravians]] and [[Tínorem]], the historically dominant ethnic groups of South Kirav and the Míhanska Bay states respectively, are of primarily Taństan ancestry but are now seen as distinct (though closely related) peoples rather than Taństan subgroups. | Taństans can be found throughout the Kiravian Federacy.
